Woyane's Millenium Report Card:
Ranked as the 169th out of 177 countries in Human Development Index (HDI) by UNDP. HDI measures health, education & economic conditions of a country. Taking HDI as an indicator, Ethiopia has gone down from being the 20th least developed country in 1991, when Woyane took power in Finfinne, to being the 9th least developed in the world in 2007/2008.
Addis Ababa (Finfinne) was ranked as the No. 6 dirtiest city in the world by Forbes Magazine in March 2008.
Named as one of the two worst enemies to Internet freedom in the sub-Saharan Africa by Reporters Without Borders; the other country is Zimbabwe, one of the most failed states in the world.
Ranked 18th in the most failed states list, compiled by the Fund for Peace.
Ethiopia is one of the nations that will most likely fail to achieve most of the Millennium Development Goals, 8 development gaps that member states of the UN pledged to close by 2015.
At the height of the repressive Derg regime, nearly 4.4 million people were in chronic need of food aid in Ethiopia (The New York Times - April 22, 1990.) This number has doubled to more than 8 million in 2008 (Reuters - March 11, 2008).
